The U.S. Men’s National Team return to action this March with two international friendlies against South American opponents: Ecuador and Chile. The first of those matches, a home contest against Ecuador at Orlando City Stadium, kicks off at 8:00 PM EST on Thursday night.
This will be the first match that we will see the Gregg Berhalter era integrated with USMNT players from Europe. The January camp was exclusive to MLS-based players. Now, the U.S. talent from around the world comes together. It will be fascinating to see how it comes together.
With that in mind, here are three key players to watch ahead of Thursday’s friendly against Ecuador.
